I have a wasp bluetooth card reader and I have created most of the application already in basic4android version 3.5 I need help with integration of the wasp bluetooth reader. I have the sdk from wasp but not much knowledge or time to build a wrapper.

Please tell me if you have any experience with similar and what price / time frame you can do this in. As always the need it to have something very quickly. If you want to contract through odesk or elance or directly let me know.

Thanks, Steve
 
Hi Steve,

I've a couple of questions for you.
1. Which wasp model did you buy?
2. Did you consider using a B4A's bluetooth lib to exchange data with the reader? I mean, simply open a channel and send the needed escape sequences to set the reader the way you like and then read back any "output" from it?

Umberto, I did not try the B4A BT lib, I did not know there was one? I essentially built 90% of the POS application but then have been so busy with other projects I cannot finish it myself so i was looking to hire someone who could finish it for me. The Barcode reader version I am using is WWS100i Cordless Pocket Barcode Scanner with USB Charging Cable. Thanks for your suggestion. Steve
 
Hi Steve,

out of curiosity I had a glance to the WWS100i manual and it seems you don't need any programming on the BT side!
Just initialize the reader with the printed codes on the manual the way you need (HID mode, barcode symbologies, termination code..). That's it.
The key concepts you may want to read more about are HID (keyboard emulation) and termination code.
